Chapter 63:
South Blue, Ronmel Kingdom. Yor Tavern.
Yor stared blankly at the bounty poster in his hand.
Looking at Vilin's bounty of 500 million Berries, his face was full of disbelief.
"Hahahaha!"
"What a talented little brat!"
Inside the royal palace hall.
The King of Ronmel looked at the bounty poster in his hand and his legs gave way, collapsing onto the precious fur carpet.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with pure terror.
The King of Ronmel had never imagined
that a mere slave could grow to such a terrifying level.
He was terrified that one day the other party would return and kill him directly.
Red Line, Pangaea Castle. A CP0 office.
Aramaki looked at Vilin's bounty poster with hatred burning in his eyes.
"Just you wait! I'll kill you sooner or later!"
Fish-Man Island is an island completely enclosed by a huge double-layered semi-circular bubble membrane.
Although it is located deep underwater, it has a sky and clouds.
Because the giant tree "Sun Tree Eve" growing near Fish-Man Island transmits sunlight from the surface to Fish-Man Island,
this allows Fish-Man Island in the deep sea to have sunlight and day-night cycles.
Vilin's group, led by Kelly, easily entered Fish-Man Island.
Seeing the wonders of Fish-Man Island, Vilin couldn't help but marvel at the magic of the One Piece world.
After docking the Flying Bird at Fish-Man Island's port,
the Aitrias Pirates crew stepped onto the land of Fish-Man Island.
Seeing the magic of Fish-Man Island, Vilin's crew looked around curiously.
While the women were admiring Fish-Man Island,
Vilin sensed through Observation Haki that a group of fish-men and mermaids were surrounding them.
After feeling no malice from them, Vilin turned his gaze to the mermaid Kelly.
"Kelly, go see what's going on."
Kelly, already excited about returning to Fish-Man Island, heard Vilin's words.
She flicked her fish tail and floated straight toward the fish-men.
After Kelly talked with the fish-men,
she quickly swam back toward Vilin.
"Captain, they came to thank you!"
"Many of the mermaids here were slaves from Sabaody Archipelago."
"Thanks to you sending Caitlin to help them,
"these fish-men were able to escape back to Fish-Man Island."
After hearing Kelly's explanation, Vilin also breathed a sigh of relief.
He led the crew toward the mermaids and fish-men.
Seeing Vilin approach, the fish-men surged forward.
They excitedly expressed their gratitude toward Vilin.
Soon the group was playing and laughing together.
Among the fish-men was a little girl with golden wavy long hair and big water-blue eyes.
She watched curiously as humans and fish-men played happily together.
Seeing everyone smiling joyfully, her eyes grew brighter and brighter.
At this moment, the little goldfish girl looked at the man being lifted high by the fish-men.
Sparkling lights continuously appeared in her eyes.
While Vilin was playing with the fish-men,
suddenly his Observation Haki detected a special Observation Haki unconsciously spreading around.
It radiated a joyful emotion, constantly infecting the people nearby.
Feeling such a unique Observation Haki,
Vilin was extremely shocked.
Following his gaze, he quickly found the source of this Observation Haki.
To Vilin's surprise, the source was a four- or five-year-old little girl.
"Huh~ She really looks like Empress Otohime!"
Vilin quickly recognized the little girl's identity.
After confirming her identity, Vilin happily walked toward her.
Otohime seemed to sense Vilin's gaze.
Seeing Vilin walking toward her, a brilliant smile appeared on her small face.
This made Vilin feel very amused.
"What a cute little sister!"
"What's your name?"
Vilin couldn't resist rubbing her golden hair.
Seeing Vilin's gentle expression, Otohime couldn't help secretly sizing him up.
"My name is Otohime."
Seeing how adorable Otohime was, Vilin couldn't resist placing her on his shoulder.
"Time for a banquet!"
"Crew members, bring out our food and wine."
"I want to invite these enthusiastic fish-men friends to join our banquet!"
After placing little Otohime's small body on his shoulder,
Vilin shouted to everyone present.
As Vilin's voice fell,
the entire place instantly erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
"Banquet! Banquet!"
As box after box of food and wine was carried down from the Flying Bird by Vilin's crew,
everyone lit bonfires and gathered happily to chat.
Vilin carried the excited Otohime around, drinking and boasting with the fish-men.
A happy smile also appeared on his face.
The banquet continued until everyone was completely drunk before it finally ended.
The next day, news of this reached the King of Fish-Man Island.
He was very curious about this human named Vilin who was willing to help fish-men.
"Someone! Invite the Aitrias Pirates crew to the Dragon Palace!"
"I must hold a banquet to thank them for their help!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Soon a guard in armor left.
At this time, because the Aitrias Pirates had drunk a lot of alcohol,
they didn't wake up until noon.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Vilin saw Otohime sleeping sweetly in his arms.
This instantly woke Vilin up.
Seeing that both of their clothes were intact, Vilin finally relaxed.
With Vilin's movement, Otohime was also woken up.
She stretched her body and saw Vilin looking at her strangely.
Otohime's cheeks instantly turned red, and steam rose from her head.
Vilin saw how cute she was and couldn't resist rubbing her golden wavy hair.
"So this is Steam Princess? Truly adorable."
Just as Vilin wanted to tease this cute mermaid a little more,
a crew member walked in.
Seeing Vilin with a little girl,
she looked at Vilin strangely and said:
"Captain, the Dragon Palace King invites us to be guests at the Dragon Palace."
"Should we go?"
Hearing someone invite him, Vilin immediately nodded.
"Go, of course we're going."
Soon Vilin's group followed the fish-man guards toward the Dragon Palace.
The Dragon Palace is located at the top level of Fish-Man Island where sunlight can be seen.
It is a grand luxurious palace built from large coral reefs, shells, and other materials.
It is also the royal base of Fish-Man Island.
Vilin's group rode on the back of a giant flounder inside a large bubble, following the guards into the Dragon Palace.
Inside the banquet hall,
Vilin's group curiously looked around at this extremely spacious and grand luxurious banquet hall.
In the center of the banquet hall was a shell-shaped stage for singers and musicians to perform.
Riding on the giant flounder's back inside a large bubble, Vilin's group soon saw the Dragon Palace King.
He was a giant merman over ten meters tall.
"Mr. Vilin, hello! I'm very glad you could attend this banquet!"
"I represent all the fish-men you helped to express our sincere gratitude!"
Soon some palace maids placed abundant food and wine on the tables in front of everyone.
Looking at the various seafood on the tables, Vilin's group was dazzled.
Vilin saw the Dragon Palace King raise his wine cup toward him.
He also raised his cup and drank it all in one go with the king.
Little Naz, lying in Rouge's arms, was full of curiosity about everything around him.
He kept making "wa wa" sounds.
Seeing how cute little Naz was, everyone present showed happy smiles.
Everyone had a great time at this banquet.
Finally, after saying goodbye to the Dragon Palace King, Vilin took his crew and left again on
